I Was Against The Sacking Of Rohr- Eguavoen Opens Up On Super Eagles Failure To Qualify For World Cup
Erstwhile interim coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Austine Eguavoen says he wasn’t in support of the decision to sack Gernot Rohr as coach of the senior national team of Nigeria.
Eguavoen took over as coach of the Nigerian team with just three weeks to the start of the Africa Cup of Nations stepping up from his role as the technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
In his capacity back then he has a say in the future of Rohr as coach of the Super Eagles and he has now confirmed that he was against the sacking of the German coach due to the timing.
He made this known on Monday Night Football as he corroborated a statement by Victor Ikpeba who laid the blame on the NFF for the Super Eagles failure to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar.
“Eguavoen was not in support of the decision to sack Rohr”, Ikpeba said. “Yes I complained about the timing as it was too close to the Africa Cup of Nations”, Eguavoen replied.
